{Competing with millions of sperm
and winning the race,
you came into this world—never forget that.} (2)
Even before being born,
you were already a winner;
do not stumble over a tiny spot.
If a river halts at the
very first rock in its way,
it will stagnate, shrink,
evaporate, and be lost forever.
If it fears breaking past
the limits of its eggshell,
when will a bird ever
reach the wide open sky?
Though chipped away
through the phases of the month,
pushing and striving relentlessly,
the moon becomes whole again.
Give it a try yourself,
and your drops of sweat
will dissolve destiny and flow forward.
Do not stop, do not stop!
As you fall, as you fall,
rise up every time you fall!
As you shatter, as you shatter,
piece yourself together every time you break!
.........................
When we are born,
in everyone's pockets,
God equally
fills our share.
If He takes away something
from a person's pocket,
He gives something else
of equal worth in return.
You are not inferior
to anyone else;
in everyone's sky,
the moon shines just as bright.
Rise and fall
lie only in your own hands;
for the hands that work hard,
the door of success is within reach.
There are stories here
of gifted people
who fell from grace...
But one who worked hard
has never fallen,
not even once in stories!
Decide to fight,
and afraid to touch you,
obstacles will run away from you.
Stand tall on your own;
why should anyone else come?
You are enough for yourself.
You are enough... you are enough.
You are enough... you are enough...
With practice and patience,
anything can be mastered.
If you walk away,
everything will be lost.
The rabbit can win,
the tortoise can win,
but never trying will never win!
This is the truth
spoken by the wise;
keep it in your heart and never forget.
Smash the stones that block your way
and march forward!
If what is broken refuses to fall,
leap over it and run to victory!
If you face a barrier
too high to leap across,
even after pushing against it constantly,
and if it cannot be broken down,
take the longer path around it,
but... do not stop!
Do not stop... do not stop...
Do not stop... do not stop...
Do not stop... do not stop...
Do not stop... do not stop...
As you fall, as you fall,
rise up every time you fall!
As you shatter, as you shatter,
piece yourself together every time you break!
Do not stop... do not stop...
Do not stop... do not stop...
Do not stop... do not stop...
Do not stop... do not stop...
As you fall, as you fall,
rise up every time you fall!
As you shatter, as you shatter,
piece yourself together every time you break!
Aah... aahaaaa...
Do not stop... hey hey...
Do not stop... hey hey...
Do not stop... hey hey...
Do not stop... hey hey...
Do not stop... hey... hey...
Do not stop... hey... hey...
Do not stop... hey... hey...
Do not stop... hey... hey...
Do not stop... yeah...
